I am currently a senior political science / international relations major with a specialization in security and intelligence studies. I've long had a fascination with science fiction (especially military science fiction) and, over the last couple of years, have developed a taste for well written horror. When it comes to horror, I generally prefer the creepy over the disgusting.

In my spare time, I tend to enjoy storytelling, primarily in the form of creative writing, theatre, and audio drama production. (I might sometime start work on an audio drama or a series thereof relating to SCPs.) I'm also the administrator (soon administrator emeritus) for my college's Assassins and Humans vs. Zombies student organizations, which have run a large, three-year-long saga of a contagion that would be right at home in the SCP series. (Imagine SCP-008, only worse.)

I'm still exploring the site and reading my way through entries, test logs, incident reports, and the like, but I'm beginning to form a handful of ideas. I might spend some time writing some reports about the interaction between the Foundation and various other entities (how cover-ups are handled, cooperation, rivalry, etc.), since my background is more political than scientific. I'm also contemplating three (still pretty nebulous) SCP ideas at the moment. At the risk of rambling on too long (I beg the indulgence of the more senior members - I ramble when interested, excited, and/or tired), I'll go ahead and post them here. Please let me know if I should repost them elsewhere.

Something that causes those exposed to it to manifest extreme behavior following one of the 4th century monk Evagrius Ponticus' eight "evil thoughts" - the origin of the modern concept of the "Seven Deadly Sins." Still thinking about the specifics, and I welcome and greatly appreciate input.

An SCP inspired by "Dark Island", from C.S. Lewis' The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, also known as "The Island Where Dreams Come True". (That part scared me rather a lot when I was 6, and still does for different reasons.) Obviously would need careful handling to avoid cliche's and keep from being too similar to SCP-629. Probably could have fun with the test log for this one, and I'm open to suggestions on how to make it fresh, interesting, and original.

An SCP which assumes the mine fire in Centralia, Pennsylvania is a Foundation cover-up. Lots of directions that one could go, and since I'm not sure which one I'd choose, I'm open for input.

Okay, I suppose I should stop talking, as my enthusiastic rambling becomes a wall of text. In short, "hello folks!"

Hello fellow new member! I can help with that 'dream' island from The Dawn Treader. :D Well hopefully….I can see it being the home of malevolent polymorphic beings that tap into your dreams from an 600 km area outside the islands boundaries and once you land…..well you get the idea……Anyways welcome you may call me soul. :)
